The m means that it's compiled as a loadable module i.e. you can dynamically load/unload it using modprobe (or insmod if you know what you're doing) and rmmod. The options you want to be looking for, though, are CONFIG_PACKET and CONFIG_FILTER. OK, I grabbed the 2.4.19-smp package (I assume 2.4.16 would be similarly configured), and looked at the config file. So CONFIG_FILTER is turned on, but CONFIG_PACKET is a module. The kernel docs tell me that if CONFIG_PACKET is a module, the module name is af_packet. So try running "modprobe af_packet", and see if that helps. If you want to have it loaded every time you boot up, add a line to the end of /etc/modules that just says "af_packet". You could instead try adding a line "alias net-pf-17 af_packet" (at least that's what the kernel docs say) to /etc/modutils/aliases and running update-modules. That would be the cleaner approach, but I'm not 100% sure if that will load the module when dhclient attempts to use it. -- Hubert Chan <hubert@uhoreg.ca> - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
